5/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Let's get the bad out of the way first for this Chicago-area brutal death metal band. First, the stupid fucking bass drops. Get rid of that crap. It's on every slam record now, and this stuff is better than many of the slam bands, so it ruins it a bit. Second, using the word Cannibal in your name when Cannibal Corpse exists. Not sure that's a great idea. Anyhow, on to the mostly good. This is of course very heavy slamming brutal death metal with the obvious comparisons to the forerunners of the genre, but these guys focus a bit more on the actual death metal in their sound than the slam parts, which is refreshing. I even hear a tiny bit of Fleshgrind in their sound, which makes sense. This is much more along the lines of classic brutal death metal, complete with guitar solos. If all bands that liked to slam approached their craft like this, I'd be a happy metalist. All that said, this record doesn't truly stand out from the pack from a song perspective, although with some more time I think they're on to something with this sound. I'll keep my eyes on them.
